PRAYERS IN THE AIR:
Five novels. One war. What it cost.
Prayers in the Air is historical fiction set during and after the First World War—literary war novels following strangers thrown together in trenches and farmhouses, villages and cities, on the frontlines and in the years after. Each book compresses time and space: one night, one farm, one village, one road. Each can be read alone.
Book 1: Sergei and Hans — Christmas Eve, 1914. A Russian prisoner and a German guard spend one night in a cabin on the Eastern Front. Enemies. Then something else.
Book 2: The Repair — Northern France, 1917. A German pilot crashes at a French family's farm. They could kill him. Instead, they repair his plane—knowing he'll use it to kill again.
Book 3: Cardinal in the Snow — South Tyrol, 1917. Ten-year-old Fernando watches his village change hands between Austria and Italy. Same streets. Different flag. Same boy. Different name. War's theft of identity.
Book 4: The Muddy Road Forward — The Somme, 1918. Three ambulance drivers search for meaning in the mud. Peter, Davies, Yvette. Carrying the wounded. Carrying each other. Trying not to break.
Book 5: Never Fully Buried — Paris, 1923. Five years after the armistice. One night in a jazz bar in Montmartre. Veterans, prostitutes, priests, dancers, musicians—all still carrying the war. All trying to survive what they thought they'd buried.
Grace appears where you don't expect it. Connection forms across enemy lines, across impossible divides.
This is what survival looks like. Messy. Broken. Still breathing.
